EXTRA POINTS: The offensive line will be a strong point for the Bulldogs in 2014. The line is made up of mostly returning seniors like Patrick Eckrich and Zach Schall. North Caroline doesn't return its starting QB, RB and WR. Head coach James McCormick knows young guys will need to step up. The JV program last year was 7-3.

EXTRA POINTS: Coming off the successes of the last season, the Vikings are setting the goals higher this year.

Cambridge will not have last year's QB Brian Lindsay, who threw for 20 TDs and 1,506 yards. The Vikings will also be replacing Blake Lewis, Woodland Benton, Marqoun Bosley and Shai Comegys, who accounted for 41 total touchdowns and 2,685 total yards. The JV record was 9-0.

EXTRA POINTS: Zach Goodrich is moving to tailback and needs to fill the shoes of Evan Greenwood, who rushed for 28 touchdowns and 1,943 yards. Zach Smith also moves into the quarterback position and head coach Brian Sofinowski believes he is the man to lead Kent Island to another successful season. They also have some promising newcomers coming up from the 9-1 JV squad.

EXTRA POINTS: The Lions boast some key returning starters from last year's 8-3 team. Tommy Jones 15 touchdowns in 2013 will be his benchmark and Bradley Harmon looks to burst into Top 5 of the QB's category. The biggest worry for the Lions is the offensive line. An 8-1 JV record means Queen Anne's will have a strong incoming class to mesh with the returning varsity players.

Colonel Richardson

COACH: Daniel Mangum, first year

LAST YEAR'S RECORD: 1-9

OFFENSE: Multiple pro

LEADER: David Dickerson, Sr., QB/DE

DEFENSE: Split 4

LEADER: Justin Abner, Sr., LB/RB

INTRIGUING NEWCOMERS: Dylan Nepert, Jr., LB/TE, John Buchanan, TE/ DE

EXTRA POINTS: As a first-year coach, Daniel Mangum's goal this summer was a bigger preseason camp. Mangum hopes that it will solve some of the depth issues that plague the smaller school. The health of David Dickerson and Justin Abner — two key players on both sides of the ball — will shape the Colonels' season.

Easton

COACH: Matt Griffith, 10-11 overall

LAST YEAR'S RECORD: 7-4

OFFENSE: Multiple sets

LEADER: Jaelon Moaney, Sr., QB

DEFENSE: 3-5

LEADER: Leon Flournoy, Sr., MLB/FB

INTRIGUING NEWCOMERS: Ahmir Handy, Jr., RB, Zach Hawkins, Jr., RB

EXTRA POINTS: After a 7-4 season and making the playoffs, Easton looks to continue its success with key returners in Jaelon Moaney and Leon Flournoy, who was the 2013 Bayisde Defensive Player of the Year. Moaney, who has had injury issues, is starting the season with a broken finger. If Easton can stay healthy, it is all about getting off to a fast start.

Kent County

COACH: Brendan Ireton, 10-11 overall

LAST YEAR'S RECORD: 7-4

OFFENSE: Pistol

LEADER: Tavon Thomas, Sr., WR/DB

Defense: 4-2-5

LEADER: Thomas Price, Sr., DL/OL

INTRIGUING NEWCOMERS: Tyron Wright, Sr., OL/DL, Matt Strong, Jr., MLB

EXTRA POINTS: Steve Curran threw for 17 touchdowns and his leading wide receiver, Tavon Thomas, who had 22 total TDs are both back for Kent County in 2014. Curran and Thomas will be the key players on an offense with eight returning starters. However, three returning first teamers on defense could be a problem. With no JV program, head coach Brendan Ireton is expecting guys to step up in preseason.
